Announcements

From September 1st, 2017, as per Government of Malaysia requirements, hotel guests who are not Malaysian citizens or long-term/permanent residents of Malaysia will be levied a tourism tax of RM 10.00 per room per night stay. Please note these changes in tax structure will result in revised taxes being charged and will be payable additionally during check out.

Decent accommodation for what you pay. Staff are there around the clock but may have to leave the reception to tend the shop (which is a part of the hotel).
Queen bed room was much nicer than the twin room.
I stayed there to attend a wedding at the Pullman and it is so easy to walk around from this hotel. Lots of nightlife and food spots around (could be an issue if you need absolute quiet to sleep). Maybank and UOB nearby for cashout. TV channels mostly in Chinese and Malay. Overall a good experience.

Good Stay”

Stayed for 1 night at family room. Room condition is very clean and it looks pretty new. The only problem was the receptionist (old man). He was not even able to smile to costumer. I remember, one costumer asking for prayer mat and RUDELY replied not available. Beside that, it value for money. It facing to Miri river. Nice view.

Good location in the waterfront commercial area of Miri. Lovely view down the canal from my room. Rooms are a little on the small size and the noise from the restaurant nearby goes on until midnight or so. Staff were pleasant.

very clean and comfortable, near mini mart so it is easy to get snacks and all. also near with waterfront and restaurants.

Very good indeed

Very relaxing atmosphere”

Very basic facilities, well maintained cleanliness and excellent staff service

The first time to spend a night in this budget hotel. No regret to stay in this basic hotel just to lay your head for a sleep. The room is quite small but equipped with bathroom/shower and flatscreen. No breakfast provided in the hotel as there are various choices of nearby eateries. The hotel is great with supermarkets that closes at 2am everyday
